Perimeter • The perimeter is the distance around a two -dimensional object. • The

Perimeter • The perimeter is the distance around a two -dimensional object. • The perimeter of a polygon can always be calculated by adding all the length of the sides together.

Perimeter Square = 4 S • The perimeter of a square is the distance

Perimeter Square = 4 S • The perimeter of a square is the distance around the outside of the square. A square has four sides of equal length. • The formula for finding the perimeter of a square is: 4 S (Length of a Side)

Perimeter Square Example: Find the perimeter of a square with sides that measure 25

Perimeter Square Example: Find the perimeter of a square with sides that measure 25 m. Solution: P = 4 S P = 4 (25 m) P = 100 m So, the perimeter is 100 m.

Perimeter Rectangle 2 L + 2 W or 2 (L + W) L =

Perimeter Rectangle 2 L + 2 W or 2 (L + W) L = Length W= Width

Perimeter Rectangle Example: Find the perimeter of a rectangular field of length 45 m

Perimeter Rectangle Example: Find the perimeter of a rectangular field of length 45 m and width 35 m. Solution: P = 2 (L + W) P = 2 (45 + 35) P = 2 (80) P = 160 So, the perimeter is 160 m.
